Definitions
- This disclosure relates to a particulate wetting and hydrophobing agent containing silicon based surfactants for use in building material protection products as additive in surface post-treatment formulations, admixtures and dry-mix products and products containing said silicon-based surfactants".
- Building materials such as cements and mortars may contain a large number of additives are added to modify their properties. These may be added to dry mixed products, wet mixed materials (i.e. after the addition of water) or in hardened state after application.
- additives may include, for example, superplasticizers, accelerating additives, retarders, extenders, weighting agents, dispersants, strengthening agents, antifoams, anti-shrinkage agents, rheology modifiers, and surfactants.
- a wide variety of materials may be utilised to make building materials such as mortars and concrete and the like hydrophobic. These include oleochemical raw materials, namely metal soaps and silicon-based materials. Whilst the addition of such materials are merited because of a beneficial cost/hydrophobic performance ratio (a dosage of 0.3% is sufficient to attain the required level of hydrophobicity), the presence of such materials can have detrimental effects.
- Their hydrophobic nature results in poor wetability of the dry-mortar when water is added to the dry-mix because they are strongly hydrophobic and as such insoluble in water which renders them difficult to incorporate in the mortar paste. In practice that means that often the water repellent agents are not fully effective or the batches are not mixed homogenously.
- surfactants do not only induce a positive impact on properties of fresh concrete but also on a long term basis when concrete has hardened by reducing for example shrinkage through decrease of tap water surface tension.”
- the pH nature of dry-mixes e.g. concrete and mortars, after hydration (addition of water) dramatically restricts the choice of suitable surfactants.
- the wetting properties of trisiloxane based materials is well known to the industry, it is also appreciated that, as discussed in column 1 of US7935842 , "the trisiloxane compounds may only be used in a narrow pH range, ranging from a slightly acidic pH of 6 to a very mildly basic pH of 7.5. Outside this narrow pH range the trisiloxane compounds are not stable to hydrolysis and undergo a rapid decomposition".
- EP 0811584 describes a cementitious material in powder form comprising cement, also comprises sufficient of a particulate wetting and hydrophobing additive, which comprises from 5 to 15 parts by weight of an organopolysiloxane component, from 10 to 40 parts by weight of a water-soluble or water-dispersible binder and from 50 to 80 parts by weight of a carrier particle, to give from 0.01 to 5% by weight of the organosiloxane component based on the weight of the cement.
- a particulate wetting and hydrophobing additive which comprises from 5 to 15 parts by weight of an organopolysiloxane component, from 10 to 40 parts by weight of a water-soluble or water-dispersible binder and from 50 to 80 parts by weight of a carrier particle, to give from 0.01 to 5% by weight of the organosiloxane component based on the weight of the cement.
- WO 2010/052201 relates to the use of a solid comprising at least one organosilane and a carrier material to hydrophobise mortars, wherein the organosilane has the formula R 1 Si(OR') 3 or R 1 R 2 Si(OR') 2 wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are a linear or branched C 1 -to C 4 - alkyl and/or alkenyl group, OR' is an acetoxy, a C 1 - to C 4 - alkoxy and/or a C 2 - to C 6 -methoxyalkoxy and/or ethoxyalkoxy group, and the carrier material is a solid at room temperature.

- the amount of cement in the final formulation is zero or less than 5 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the final formulation in the dry and uncured form.
- Claimed are also a powder comprising the silane and a carrier with the carrier being a water-soluble polymer, dry mortar formulations containing no or less than 5 wt.-% cement, based on the dry weight of the uncured mortar formulation, as well as processes to manufacture the formulations and/or compounds.
- WO 2008/062018 relates to cementitious materials, which exhibit a hydrophobic character, and to a process for making cementitious materials hydrophobic, and to a granulated additive for rendering cementitious material hydrophobic.
- emulsifier for the organosilicon component is deposited on the particulate carrier together with the organosilicon component and the binder.
- the hydrophobing agent permits to impart instantaneous hydrophobicity to cementitious materials.
- WO 2010/012654 concerns a process to hydrophobize mortars, characterized in that a dry mortar is mixed with water, applied onto a substrate and allowed to dry, the dry mortar being preferably a gypsum dry mortar and/or containing no or less than about 5 wt.% of a minerally setting binder, calculated on the dry content of the dry mortar, wherein at least one solid hydrophobizing material is added before, during and/or after mixing of the dry mortar with water and/or the hydrophobizing material is mixed with water and applied onto the dried mortar, wherein the hydrophobizing material is a hydrophobizing agent containing a silane, a carrier, and a catalyst, and/or a silane composition containing at least a silane and a carrier and

- a dry-mix composed of 54g of dried sand which has a granulometry between 0 and 2 mm and 18g of cement (CEM II 32.5N) is prepared within a closed pot. Then 0.18g of zinc stearate is introduced into the closed pot. The dry-mix is then blended for 60 seconds.
- the static wetting time is compared with the static wetting time of the Reference dry-mix containing only quantities of sand, cement and zinc stearate (static wetting time that is lower than the reference static wetting time induces an excellent wetability and thus a good ease of use).

- Comparative examples 4a, 4b, 5a and 5b that are modified with stearate and standard silicone superwetter also exhibit a higher hydrophobic nature than the References as the silicone surfactants help the stearate to be more homogeneously distributed over the mortar block.
- Examples 7, 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b and 9c exhibit on average an even better hydrophobic nature (i.e. a significantly better application onto the mortar block) as their beading effect value was between 3 and 4 and their DET was on average greater than 25 minutes. Examples show that new disiloxanes provide to mortar block hydrophilic effect in the first place and after degradation surprisingly provide high level of hydrophobicity to mortar block.

Description
- This disclosure relates to a particulate wetting and hydrophobing agent containing silicon based surfactants for use in building material protection products as additive in surface post-treatment formulations, admixtures and dry-mix products and products containing said silicon-based surfactants".
- Building materials such as cements and mortars may contain a large number of additives are added to modify their properties. These may be added to dry mixed products, wet mixed materials (i.e. after the addition of water) or in hardened state after application. Such additives may include, for example, superplasticizers, accelerating additives, retarders, extenders, weighting agents, dispersants, strengthening agents, antifoams, anti-shrinkage agents, rheology modifiers, and surfactants.
- In the case of building materials e.g. cements and mortars there has been a propensity to introduce a wide variety of additives to render the finished product hydrophobic after application and drying. This is because water is the most common cause of serious damage in concrete and rendering and the like. Water is responsible for the ingress of substances having detrimental effects on said concrete etc e.g. salts. Water is also involved in the promotion of the growth of micro-organisms and frost damage in cold periods. Also, heat transition is directly linked to the amount of moisture in building materials.
- A wide variety of materials may be utilised to make building materials such as mortars and concrete and the like hydrophobic. These include oleochemical raw materials, namely metal soaps and silicon-based materials. Whilst the addition of such materials are merited because of a beneficial cost/hydrophobic performance ratio (a dosage of 0.3% is sufficient to attain the required level of hydrophobicity), the presence of such materials can have detrimental effects. Their hydrophobic nature results in poor wetability of the dry-mortar when water is added to the dry-mix because they are strongly hydrophobic and as such insoluble in water which renders them difficult to incorporate in the mortar paste. In practice that means that often the water repellent agents are not fully effective or the batches are not mixed homogenously. Water, soluble soaps such as sodium stearate and sodium oleate have been used as an alternative but whilst their water solubility is an advantage they also have drawbacks in that they cause a greater level of efflorescence (due to the presence of sodium salts), a greater water uptake (i.e. reduced hydrophobicity) and a lower shelf-life than alkali earth and transition metal soaps."
- To counterbalance the hydrophobic nature of such materials and their effects on mortar paste properties such as slump or handling properties, more hydrophilic molecules such as surfactants can be added. Surfactants do not only induce a positive impact on properties of fresh concrete but also on a long term basis when concrete has hardened by reducing for example shrinkage through decrease of tap water surface tension."
- Furthermore, the pH nature of dry-mixes, e.g. concrete and mortars, after hydration (addition of water) dramatically restricts the choice of suitable surfactants. For example, whilst the wetting properties of trisiloxane based materials is well known to the industry, it is also appreciated that, as discussed in column 1 of
US7935842 , "the trisiloxane compounds may only be used in a narrow pH range, ranging from a slightly acidic pH of 6 to a very mildly basic pH of 7.5. Outside this narrow pH range the trisiloxane compounds are not stable to hydrolysis and undergo a rapid decomposition". -
EP 0811584 describes a cementitious material in powder form comprising cement, also comprises sufficient of a particulate wetting and hydrophobing additive, which comprises from 5 to 15 parts by weight of an organopolysiloxane component, from 10 to 40 parts by weight of a water-soluble or water-dispersible binder and from 50 to 80 parts by weight of a carrier particle, to give from 0.01 to 5% by weight of the organosiloxane component based on the weight of the cement.
WO 2010/052201 relates to the use of a solid comprising at least one organosilane and a carrier material to hydrophobise mortars, wherein the organosilane has the formula R1Si(OR')3 or R1R2Si(OR')2 wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different and are a linear or branched C1-to C4- alkyl and/or alkenyl group, OR' is an acetoxy, a C1- to C4- alkoxy and/or a C2- to C6-methoxyalkoxy and/or ethoxyalkoxy group, and the carrier material is a solid at room temperature. The amount of cement in the final formulation is zero or less than 5 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the final formulation in the dry and uncured form. Claimed are also a powder comprising the silane and a carrier with the carrier being a water-soluble polymer, dry mortar formulations containing no or less than 5 wt.-% cement, based on the dry weight of the uncured mortar formulation, as well as processes to manufacture the formulations and/or compounds.WO 2008/062018 relates to cementitious materials, which exhibit a hydrophobic character, and to a process for making cementitious materials hydrophobic, and to a granulated additive for rendering cementitious material hydrophobic. An emulsifier for the organosilicon component is deposited on the particulate carrier together with the organosilicon component and the binder. The hydrophobing agent permits to impart instantaneous hydrophobicity to cementitious materials.WO 2010/012654 concerns a process to hydrophobize mortars, characterized in that a dry mortar is mixed with water, applied onto a substrate and allowed to dry, the dry mortar being preferably a gypsum dry mortar and/or containing no or less than about 5 wt.% of a minerally setting binder, calculated on the dry content of the dry mortar, wherein at least one solid hydrophobizing material is added before, during and/or after mixing of the dry mortar with water and/or the hydrophobizing material is mixed with water and applied onto the dried mortar, wherein the hydrophobizing material is a hydrophobizing agent containing a silane, a carrier, and a catalyst, and/or a silane composition containing at least a silane and a carrier and a catalyst composition containing at least a catalyst and a carrier, wherein the silane and catalyst compositions are added to the mortar together and/or separately before, during and/or after mixing of the mortar with water, wherein the silane has at least one Si-OR group and R is an organic group, wherein the catalyst is suitable for hydrolyzing the Si-OR bond and/or for condensation of the Si-OH group obtained by hydrolysis, and wherein the hydrophobizing agent, the silane composition and/or the catalyst composition are preferably in the form of a powder, granulate and/or flakes. - There is a need for a granulated/powdered wetting agent that will impart a good wetability to dry-mixes of building materials containing hydrophobic additives without impacting hydrophobic properties of such additives and characteristics of wet mixes of the building materials while improving performance of hydrophobic materials in the hardened state (i.e. after drying in situ).

- It is to be understood that the term particulate wetting and hydrophobing additive is intended to mean any suitable particulate form but in particular a powder wetting and hydrophobing additive or a granular wetting and hydrophobing additive and furthermore for the avoidance of doubt the additive functions to both wet and hydrophobe materials but such functions are not necessarily simultaneous. Typically they will act initially as wetting agents and subsequently and/or simultaneously hydrophobing agents.
- The disiloxane as hereinbefore described is a disiloxane as hereinbefore depicted wherein R1, R3, R4 and R5 are each independently selected from the group consisting of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, aryl, and a hydrocarbon group of 6 to 20 carbon atoms containing an aryl group;
- R2 is selected from a branched or linear hydrocarbon group consisting of 2 to 10 carbons, an optionally substituted aryl group, and an alkyl hydrocarbon chain of 4 to 9 carbons having one or more aryl substituents of 6 to 20 carbon atoms or a branched or linear hydrocarbon group consisting of 1 to 6 carbons when R1 and R3 are independently an aryl group, or a hydrocarbon group of 6 to 20 carbon atoms containing an aryl group; Z is a linear or branched divalent hydrocarbon radical of from 2 to 10 (inclusive) carbon atoms and R8 is selected from the group consisting of OH, H, monovalent hydrocarbon radicals of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and acetyl and each of the subscripts a, b and c are zero or positive provided that a + b + c ≥ 1.
- In one alternative Z is a linear or branched divalent hydrocarbon radical of from 2 to 6 (inclusive) carbon atoms and furthermore, R8 is selected from the group consisting of OH, H, monovalent hydrocarbon radicals of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and acetyl, but is most preferably OH, and subscripts a ≥ 0, b≥ 0 and c = 0 provided that a + b ≥ 1.
- In a further alternative Z is a linear or branched divalent hydrocarbon radical of from 2 to 6 (inclusive) carbon atoms and R8 is selected from the group consisting of OH, H, monovalent hydrocarbon radicals of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and acetyl but is most preferably OH, subscript a >1, subscript b ≥ 0 and subscript c = 0. Alternatively, a is ≥ 3 and b and c are both zero. In a further alternative a and b are both ≥ 3 with a ≥ b and c is zero.
- In one alternative embodiment R1 and/or R3 is/are selected from the group consisting of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms which may contain substitution by having e.g. one or more C-F bonds, an optionally substituted aryl group, and a hydrocarbon group of 4 to 9 carbons containing an aryl group and R4 and R5 are each independently selected from the group consisting of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms which may contain substitution by having e.g. one or more C-F bonds, typically methyl or ethyl groups. Alternatively R1 and/or R3 is/are optionally substituted aryl groups and R4 and R5 are each independently selected from the group consisting of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms which may contain substitution by having e.g. one or more C-F bonds, typically methyl or ethyl groups.
- In one alternative R2 is selected from a linear or branched hydrocarbon group consisting of 7 to 102 carbons or an optionally substituted aryl group.
- Specifically preferred disiloxanes include disiloxanes of the following compositions:
- The disiloxanes described herein may be used as surfactants and /or as wetting materials in compositions but they breakdown in a high pH environment through a hydrolysis reaction. The hydrophobing agents released when the above are hydrolysed are, for sake of example:
- Carrier particles are the other essential ingredients as hereinbefore described. The carrier particles comprise one or more suitable water-soluble, water-insoluble or water-dispersible particles. Preferred carrier particles include gypsum, calcium sulphate formed in flue gas desulphurisation, magnesium sulphate or barium sulphate starch, native starch, methyl cellulose, carboxy methyl cellulose, sand, silica, alumino silicates, clay materials, zeolites, calcium carbonates, polystyrene beads and polyacrylate beads or a mixture thereof. Most preferred carrier particles are gypsum and/or zeolites.
- The carrier particles may have a diameter of from 1 to 100µm, most preferably 1 to 50µm. Although on the one hand it is preferred to use materials, which fulfil a useful role in, for example, gypsum based compositions; it has been found that water-soluble carrier particles have particularly interesting effects, even if they are not per se active materials in such compositions. Furthermore, it is preferred that the granules preferably have a maximum diameter of 1.4 mm.
- In the case when the particulate wetting and hydrophobing additive is in the form of a powder, typically the only 2 ingredients present will be said disiloxane and said carrier and the disiloxane will have been absorbed onto or into the carrier. Any suitable process may be undertaken to have the disiloxane adsorbed into the carrier, e.g. spray drying spray cooling, twin-screw extrusion, prilling, micro-encapsulation, high-shear granulation, fluidized granulation. The disiloxane is present in an amount from 1% to 50 %, alternatively 1 to 40% by weight of the total composition and unless additional optional additives are present the remainder of the weight is taken up by the carrier and the total amount present is 100% by weight of the composition, i.e. given the above in a 2 component composition carrier is present in an amount of from 50 to 99% by weight of the composition, or alternatively 60 to 99% by weight of the composition.
- In the case when the particulate wetting and hydrophobing additive is in the form of a granular material the additive must be prepared via a suitable granulation method for example those described in
EP 0811584 andEP 496510 - When the particulate wetting and hydrophobing additive is in the form of a granular material one or more additional ingredients may be required. For example, the granular material may also contain a binder to bind the carrier and disiloxane into granules. Any suitable binder may be utilised but, when present a water-soluble or water-dispersible binder material is preferred. They may, for example be materials which at room temperature, i.e. from 20 to 25°C, have a waxy, highly viscous or solid consistency and have a melting point of from 25 to 150°C. Examples of suitable water-soluble or water-dispersible binder materials include polyvinyl alcohol, methyl cellulose, carboxy methyl cellulose, ethoxylated fatty alcohols and mixtures thereof with fatty acids and fatty acid esters and other film forming polymers. It is preferred that the binder material is actually water soluble. Preferred binders are polyvinyl alcohols and/or ethoxylated fatty alcohol based waxes or ethoxylated fatty alcohol wax / C16-20 fatty acid mixtures.
- The particulate wetting and hydrophobing additive preferably comprises, when in granular form, based on a total weight of 100%, comprises 5 to 80% by weight of carrier based on the total % weight of 100%, from 3 to 45% by weight of binder and from 5 to 90% disiloxane, alternatively 5 to 80% by weight of disiloxane with the understanding that when a 3 component composition the total composition is 100% (i.e. if the granules are made solely from the 3 components above if the weight % of carrier is 80% the total weight % of binder + disiloxane is 20% of the total weight of the composition). It is also preferred that the disiloxane and binder together comprise from 25 to 45% by weight of the total weight of the carrier. It is also preferred that the weight ratio of carrier to the combined weight of binder and disiloxane is in the range from 3/2 to 4/1, and that the weight ratio of binder to disiloxane component is a maximum of 2/1 but is preferably about 3/2.
- The wetting and hydrophobing additive is preferably granulated, which means that it has been prepared by a granulation process. In a granulation process disiloxane and the water-soluble or water-dispersible binder are deposited in their liquid form onto carrier thus forming a free flowing solid powder. Granulation methods have been described in a number of patent specifications including
EP 0811584 . Any of the granulation processes described inEP 0811584 may be utilised to prepare a hydrophobing additive in accordance with the present invention. - The granulating process by which the hydrophobing additives are produced comprises the steps of where necessary heating disiloxane and/or binder to give a liquid material, either separately or in admixture, e.g. as a flowable slurry, which is then deposited onto carrier and when present carrier, e.g. in a fluidised bed, thus causing disiloxane and binder in admixture to solidify, e.g. through cooling or through the evaporation of a solvent, onto the carrier particles and form a free flowing powder. Methods of granulating such additives have been described in a number of publications, e.g.
GB 1407997 EP 0210721 andEP 0496510 . - The granulation process ensures that disiloxane and binder are contacted in their liquid phase and a mixture of disiloxane and binder are deposited onto the carrier. It is possible to prepare a mixture of binder and disiloxane components beforehand, e.g. by mere mixing of the materials or by causing them to be admixed in the presence of adjuvants such as stabilising agents or solvents. Conventional procedures for making powders are particularly convenient e.g. granulation and fluid bed coating procedures, both being comprised in the definition of granulation as used herein. For example binder in liquid form (e.g. achieved through heating of the material where necessary), and the organopolysiloxane in liquid form (where needed by admixture with small amounts of solvent), may be passed into a tower and permitted to form the hydrophobing additive by depositing the carrier particles, e.g. native starch onto a mixture of disiloxane and binder.
- In a further method disiloxane and binder are sprayed simultaneously onto a fluidised bed. Upon spraying small liquid droplets are formed containing disiloxane and binder. The droplets are usually heated, as binder is to be in liquid form. The droplets then cool down as they make their way onto the bed. Thus they solidify, forming a particulate finely divided hydrophobing additive which is then deposited onto the carrier particle. Disiloxane and binder may be mixed prior to spraying, or by contacting the sprayed liquid droplets of both materials, for example by spraying the materials via separate nozzles. Solidification of the droplets which then contain both materials in liquid form may be encouraged, for example by use of a cool air counter stream, thus reducing more quickly the temperature of the droplets. Alternatively solidification may be encouraged by the use of air counter current to aid evaporation of any solvent present. Other ways of encouraging solidification will be clear to the person skilled in the art. Total solidification does preferably not take place prior to the mixture being deposited onto carrier. The finely divided particulate wetting and hydrophobing additive is then collected at the bottom of the tower.
- In a still further method the disiloxane and binder are sprayed simultaneously into a drum mixer containing the carrier. On spraying small liquid droplets are formed containing disiloxane and binder. The droplets partially cool down on contact with the carrier particles. After mixing is complete the partially cooled particles are transferred to a fluidised bed where cooling is completed with ambient air. The finely divided particles of particulate wetting and hydrophobing additive are then collected directly from the fluidised bed. Optionally the particles may be further screened by sieving to produce particles of hydrophobing additive substantially free of any undersized or oversized material. A typical apparatus which is useful is the Eirich® pan granulator, the Schugi® mixer, the Paxeson-Kelly® twin-core blender, the Lödige® ploughshare mixer or one of the numerous types of fluidised bed apparatuses, e.g. Aeromatic® fluidised bed granulator.
- In an alternative granulation process disiloxane is emulsified or at least dispersed in the aqueous solution or emulsion of binder. The resultant emulsion is deposited in a liquid form, for example by spraying, onto carrier e.g. in a fluid bed, thus causing the disiloxane and binder in admixture to solidify, through the evaporation of water, onto the carrier to form a free flowing powder.
- Subsequent to granulation, irrespective of the method used, the particulate wetting and hydrophobing additive is then collected from the fluidised bed.
- Typical apparatus which may be used for granulation includes the Eirich® pan granulator, the Schugi® mixer, the Paxeson-Kelly® twin-core blender, the Lodige® ploughshare mixer, the Lodige® Continuous Ring Layer Mixer or one of the numerous types of fluidised bed apparatuses, e.g. Aeromatic® fluidised bed granulator. Optionally the particles may be further screened by sieving to produce particles of hydrophobing additive substantially free of any undersized or oversized material.
- The above particulate wetting and hydrophobing additive may include additional ingredients which are in a suitable form to be additionally adsorbed onto a powder or granulated into granules as hereinbefore described. Additional ingredients may include, for example, trisiloxane based wetting agents, viscosity modifiers, pigments, colorants, preservatives, gelling agents, pH modifiers, buffers, accelerators, retarders, air entrainers and fillers, e.g. silica and titanium dioxide. It is however preferred that such additional optional ingredients do not comprise more than 5% by weight of the total weight of the additive.
- Any suitable trisiloxane based wetting agent may be utilised as an additive, for example polyoxyalkylene trisiloxanes, which have the following general formula:
in which Z and R8 are as hereinbefore described and d is from 1 to 30 and e and f are independently from 0 to 10. A commercial example of such trisiloxanes is Sylgard B 309 from Dow Corning Corporation. - Typically the particulate wetting and hydrophobing additive is introduced into a dry-mix in a dry particulate form as a powder or in a granular form. The particulate wetting and hydrophobing additive may then be mixed in a cementitious powder material and would form a stable dry composition which may easily be stored or transported in that form.
- The amount of particulate wetting and hydrophobing additive which is present in the cementitious material according to the invention is such that from 0.01 to 5% by weight of carrier is present in the total cementitious composition i.e. about 0.02 to 10% by weight of the granule as typically the overall weight of a typical granule is about 50% carrier and about 50% binder/disiloxane. Alternatively the amount of carrier component is from 0.05 to 5% weight, or in a further alternative from 0.05 to 1.0% by weight of the cement present. It is preferred that the maximum amount of disiloxane present in the cementitious material is about 2% by weight based on the weight of the cement which is present, most preferably from 0.5 to 1% by weight based on the weight of the cementitious material.
- Typically the cementitious material will additionally comprise one or more hydrophobing materials such suitable silicone-based hydrophing materials and/or silane-based hydrophobing materials as well as, for example, palmitic, stearic or oleic acid salt(s) of ammonia, alkali metals, alkali-earth metals or transition metals or a mixture thereof may be selected from palmitic, stearic or oleic acid salts of zinc, iron, copper, barium, calcium, magnesium, lithium, sodium, potassium, aluminium and ammonia and is preferably selected from ammonium stearate, sodium stearate, lithium stearate, potassium stearate, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, barium stearate, zinc stearate, aluminium tri stearate, aluminium-di-stearate, aluminium mono stearate, copper stearate, sodium oleate and potassium oleate, calcium oleate and zinc oleate. Most preferably the salt is zinc stearate or calcium stearate. Least preferred of the metal stearates are the alkali metal stearates as residual alkali metal cations in set cementitious material are known to cause efflorescence therein.
- It is to be understood that the meaning of stearate should be construed to be anything from a 100% stearate salt where all anions are stearate anions to a commercially available stearate which tends to be a mixture, substantially of the salts of stearic and palmitic acids.
- The amount of such hydrophobing materials present in a cementitious material as hereinbefore described is determined by the need for hydrophobicity for the end product to be made once water is introduced into the cementitious dry-mix. Typically the cementitious material will also include from 0.01 to 5% by weight of the hydrophobing materials of the cementitious material. Alternatively the amount of hydrophobing materials component is from 0.05 to 5% weight, or in a further alternative from 0.05 to 1.0% by weight of the cementitious composition present.
- The cementitious material according to the second aspect of the invention may also comprise further optional ingredients. These further optional ingredients may include sand, filler and other materials traditionally found in cementitious materials, e.g. lime, aggregate, accelerators, air entrainers, pigments, retarders and pozzolanic materials. Preferably the cementitious material is cement, concrete, mortar or grout or the like.
- When water is introduced into the dry mix the disiloxanes as hereinbefore described function initially as wetting agents but gradually degrade because of the basic nature of the environment of the cementitious material via a hydrolysis reaction initiated when water is introduced into the cementitious composition comprising the granulated particles as herein described. However in accordance with the present disclosure at least some of the resulting degradation products, are hydrophobic and therefore having a positive effect in the hydrophobing of the cementitious mixture subsequent to their degradation after functioning as part of the wetting agent.
- In each case the hydrophobic degradation product depicted above improves the hydrophobic nature of the resulting concrete or like material by its mere presence after the degradation of the disiloxane present in the granulated additives in the cementitious material prior to the addition of water.
- In a third aspect of the invention, there is provided a process of imparting to cementitious material a hydrophobing character by mixing into the cementitious material a hydrophobing additive in accordance with the first aspect of the present invention. Mixing may be done by mechanical means or any other appropriate method known in the art.
- In addition to their use in dry mixes the granules of the present invention may be utilised in coatings, particularly hydrophobing coatings which are stored as dry mixes to which a solvent e.g. water is added prior to use.
- Typically coatings formulations will require a wetting agent or surfactant for the purpose of emulsification, compatibilization of components, levelling, flow and reduction of surface defects. Additionally, these additives may provide improvements in the cured or dry film, such as improved abrasion resistance, anti-blocking, hydrophilic, and hydrophobic properties. Coatings formulations may exist as solvent-borne coatings, water-borne coatings and powder coatings.
- The coatings components may be employed as: Architecture coatings; OEM product coatings such as automotive coatings and coil coatings; Special Purpose coatings such as industrial maintenance coatings and marine coatings. Other possible applications include for Household care, applications, in pulp and paper applications and use in textiles.
- There now follows a number of examples which illustrate the invention in detail but are not to be construed to limit the scope thereof. All parts and percentages in the examples are on a weight basis and all measurements were obtained at room temperature (typically 20°C +/- 1-2°C) unless indicated to the contrary.
- A series of samples were prepared as described below:
- 19.6 g diphenyl disiloxane having the following formula:
- 20 g of a disiloxane of the formula
- 19.9 g of an n-octyldisiloxane of the following formula:-
- 19.9 g 1,1,1,3,5,5,5-Heptamethyl-3-(propyl(poly(EO))acetate)trisiloxane was mixed in 60.2 g of an aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution 20 % solid (Mowiol® 4/88 from Kuraray) for 3 minutes with a rotor/stator mixer (Ultraturrax). 40.3 g of the resultant creamy emulsion was poured over 104.3 g of zeolite (DOUCIL 4A from INEOS), having a particle size of about 2 to 5 µm in a domestic kitchen food mixer under agitation at maximum mixer speed within a period of 15-30 seconds resulting in a granulated powder. The granulated powder was dried in a Strea-1cc fluidised bed from Niro for 15 minutes and sieved to remove any particles larger than 0.5 mm diameter. The resulting granulated powder is henceforth referred to as Comparative powdered organomodified siloxane 1.
- 19.6 g of Trimethylsiloxy-terminated Dimethyl, Methyl(propyl(poly(EO)(PO)) hydroxy) Siloxane having a viscosity of 41 cSt at 25°C using the glass capillary method (ASTM D445-11a Standard test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and opaque Liquids), was mixed in 60.2 g of an aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution 20 % solid (Mowiol® 4/88 from Kuraray) for 3 minutes with a rotor/stator mixer (Ultraturrax) to form an emulsion. 41.3 g of the resultant creamy emulsion was poured over 100.6 g of zeolite (DOUCIL 4A from INEOS), having a particle size of about 2 to 5 µm in a domestic kitchen food mixer under agitation at maximum mixer speed within a period of 15-30 seconds resulting in a granulated powder. The granulated powder was dried in a Strea-1cc fluidised bed from Niro for 15 minutes and sieved to remove any particles larger than 0.5 mm diameter. The resulting granulated powder is henceforth referred to as Comparative powdered organomodified siloxane 2.
- The Dynamic Wetting of standard compositions containing an amount of each respective powdered organomodified siloxane 1, 2 and 3 and comparative powdered organomodified siloxane 1 were prepared by identical processes and are referred to as Examples 1, 2, 3 and Comparative 1 in Table 1 below, which compares their results to a reference material containing no wetting agent. Each siloxane was prepared for the test by the method described below (Preparation of Example 1), the only differences being in each case the replacement of sample 1 with each respective alternative powdered organomodified siloxanes or Comparative powdered organomodified siloxane 1.
- 0.52g of powdered organomodified polysiloxane 1 was introduced into a Krups mixer (KA 940 model), having a 5 litres stainless steel 2 handle mixing bowl and a 1.5 Litres stainless steel blender, together with:
- 390 g of dried sand which has a granulometry of up to a maximum of 2 mm; 130 g of cement (CEM II 32.5 N); and
- 1.3g of zinc stearate. The powders are then blended homogeneously for 60 seconds at level 2 speed.
- The resulting Examples and Comparatives were compared using the following Dynamic wetting test method:-
- After having homogenized the powders, 65g of water was introduced into the bowl at level 2 speed. The time needed by the water to totally wet the dry mix is timed and is henceforth referred to as the dynamic wetting time. The dynamic wetting time is compared with the reference dynamic wetting time of a Reference dry-mix that contains only the quantities of sand, cement and zinc stearate (dynamic wetting time that is lower than the reference dynamic wetting time induces an excellent wetability and thus a good ease of use). The results are obtained from an average of three measurements.
Table 1 Dynamic wetting time (s) Example 1 9 Example 2 9 Example 3 10 Reference 28 Comparative 1 14 - These results show that examples 1, 2 and 3 are better than the reference and comparative examples because the time needed by the water to wet the dry-mix is significantly shorter.
- Static Wetting Test for standard compositions containing an amount of each respective powdered organomodified siloxane and comparative powdered organomodified siloxane prepared above were prepared in an identical process as follows using the siloxanes indicated in Table 2a
Table 2a Example 4 Powdered organomodified siloxane 1 Example 5 Powdered organomodified siloxane 2 Example 6 Powdered organomodified siloxane 3 Reference None Comparative 2 Comparative powdered organomodified siloxane 1. Comparative 3 Comparative powdered organomodified siloxane 2. - A dry-mix composed of 54g of dried sand which has a granulometry between 0 and 2 mm and 18g of cement (CEM II 32.5N) is prepared within a closed pot. Then 0.18g of zinc stearate and 0.072g of powdered organomodified siloxane 1 was introduced into the closed pot. The dry-mix was then blended for 60 seconds.
- The preparation of Examples 5 and 6 and Comparatives 2 and 3 was analogous to the preparation of Example 4 with only the respective powdered organomodified siloxane replacing powdered organomodified siloxane 1. In the case of the Reference the only difference is that no siloxane is added.
- A dry-mix composed of 54g of dried sand which has a granulometry between 0 and 2 mm and 18g of cement (CEM II 32.5N) is prepared within a closed pot.. Then 0.18g of zinc stearate is introduced into the closed pot. The dry-mix is then blended for 60 seconds.
- The static wetting test was carried out as follows:
- Equal amounts by weight of each example and comparative was placed on separate plates. Five water drops are softly dropped onto the respective dry-mixes. The time for the water drops to totally wet the dry-mix is measured using a Hanhart sprint chronometer and is henceforth referred as static wetting time.
- The static wetting time is compared with the static wetting time of the Reference dry-mix containing only quantities of sand, cement and zinc stearate (static wetting time that is lower than the reference static wetting time induces an excellent wetability and thus a good ease of use). The results are obtained from an average of five measurements and are provided in Table 2b below in which SWT is Static Wetting Time.
Table 2b SWT 1st Drop (s) SWT 2nd Drop (s) SWT 3rd Drop (s) SWT 4th Drop (s) SWT 5th Drop (s) Average(s) Example 4 300 300 300 480 480 300 Example 5 180 360 360 360 480 300 Example 6 480 480 480 540 540 480 Reference 480 480 540 540 600 528 Comp 2 300 420 420 600 600 380 Comp 3 240 300 300 300 720 280 - Compared to the Reference in which only Zn stearate was utilised in the dry-mix, all other examples provide a better ease of use because the average drop entry time decreased from more than 500 seconds for the reference dry-mix to less than 300 seconds for modified dry-mixes.
- Examples and comparatives were prepared to determine the drop entry time and beading for standard compositions containing an amount of each respective powdered organomodified siloxane and comparative powdered organomodified siloxane prepared above were prepared in an identical process as follows using the siloxanes indicated in Table 3a below:

Then 19g of mixing water is added. The resulting slurry is then poured into a pre-prepared test piece mould measuring 60x60x20mm. The mould is place on a vibrating table for 3 minutes and then placed in a closed container at 100 % Relative humidity. The test mortar block is de-moulded after 24 hours and allowed to cure in a chamber for a period of 7 days at a temperature of 25°C and at 100% relative humidity. After 7 days of cure, the mortar block is dried for 24 hours in an oven at 50°C.
- The preparation of Examples 8, 9 and comparatives 4 and 5 were prepared in an analogous manner to using Powdered organomodified siloxane 1 in the preparation of Example 7 with the only difference being the replacement of the respective siloxane.
- 108g of dried sand of granulometry between 0-2 mm, 36g of cement (CEM II 32.5N), 0.36g of zinc stearate are dry blended for one minute. Then 19g of mixing water is added.

The resulting slurry is then poured into a pre-prepared test piece mould measuring 60x60x20mm. The mould is placed on a vibrating table for 3 minutes and then placed in a closed container at 100 % Relative humidity. The test mortar block is de-moulded after 24 hours and allowed to cure in a chamber for a period of 7 days at a temperature of 25°C and at 100% relative humidity. After 7 days of cure, the mortar block is dried for 24 hours in an oven at 50°C.
- A water droplet is gently deposited on the modified mortar surface with a pipette. The time needed to have the water droplet completely absorbed by the mortar surface is recorded (referred in this document as the drop entry time) and the average of 5 independent measurements is calculated.
- Beading effect is a qualitative comparison between the spreading and the shape of the water droplets deposited on the surface of the mortar block and is measured using a ranking scheme: from 0 (for a droplet that totally wets the surface of the mortar block, i.e. resulting in a flat droplet), to 5 (for a droplet that forms a perfect spherical droplet on the surface of the mortar block.
Table 3b DET drop 1 (min) DET drop 2 (min) DET drop 3 (min) DET drop 4 (min) DET drop 5 (min) Average (min) Beading Effect Ex 7 14 29 35 40 60 35.6 4 Ex 8a 18 26 27 30 43 28.8 3 Ex 8b 11 32 42 45 60 38 3 Ex 9a 7 9 11 11 18 11.2 4 Ex 9b 13 24 27 40 47 30.2 4 Ex 9c 4 24 29 35 60 30.4 4 Ref 2a 1 1 1 2 2 1.4 0 Ref 2b 1 1 1 3 3 1.8 0 Ref 2c 1 1 2 2 3 1.8 0 Ref 3a 2 4 5 7 12 6 1 Ref 3b 2 3 8 13 15 8.2 1 Comp 4a 6 17 22 22 30 19.4 3 Comp 4b 3 6 10 16 16 10.2 3 Comp 5a 6 8 14 17 20 13 2 Comp 5b 5 10 16 16 17 12.8 2 - The results show that reference examples 2a, 2b and 2c give very bad beading effect with a value of zero and a Drop Entry Time (DET) between 1 and 2 minutes, meaning that there is no hydrophobic treatment of the mortar block. Results regarding Reference examples 3a and 3b that are modified with stearate indicate a slight hydrophobic nature as the beading effect value is one and their DET is between 6 and 8 minutes. Comparative examples 4a, 4b, 5a and 5b that are modified with stearate and standard silicone superwetter also exhibit a higher hydrophobic nature than the References as the silicone surfactants help the stearate to be more homogeneously distributed over the mortar block. However, Examples 7, 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b and 9c exhibit on average an even better hydrophobic nature (i.e. a significantly better application onto the mortar block) as their beading effect value was between 3 and 4 and their DET was on average greater than 25 minutes. Examples show that new disiloxanes provide to mortar block hydrophilic effect in the first place and after degradation surprisingly provide high level of hydrophobicity to mortar block.
